Hi all,

After a bit of advice here. I'm on ADSL using a USB modem. Now I want to buy a Modem Router as my plans are to network the house and install a few RJ45 sockets in different rooms.

I was wondering if any of you have purchased one recently or have any recommendations.

Have looked at:
NETGEAR ADSL USB/RJ-45 Modem/Router DM602

but to tell you the truth I dont have much of a clue what I'm looking at. I only want 4 or 5 ports nothing more. Any help please.

Have a look at what Lynksys can offer as they are competitively priced. I've got a firewall router with 4-port switch built in and it seems to do the job. It was about £60.

I hear you! My last hub cost me £15 and I hear that normally the router on an ASDL line is supplied by the ISP. Unless you know otherwize

Yeah, I chose the self install option from my ISP, I also had the option to purchase by modem from them but found it £25 cheaper on the net. BT activated the line and I did all the rest, well with a few calls to my ISP.

I dont want to leave a PC on all the time as I'm not on the net all that much, but when I am I like to use the laptop and sit in the living room on the sofa. I need a modem/router as with my current USB I have to swap and change it around and that means getting down under the desk in my study which is in the loft indecently.
